About the Book

"Johnson paints characters with a folksy charm that makes them feel like family . . . This richly-textured mystery has it all" (Diane Vallere, national bestselling author). A dead body in her garden and a homicide detective on her doorstep . . . Computer programmer and tole painting enthusiast Aurora "Rory" Anderson doesn't envision finding either when she steps outside to investigate the frenzied yipping coming from her own backyard. After all, she lives in Vista Beach, a quiet California beach community where violent crime is rare and murder even rarer. Suspicion falls on Rory when the body buried in her flowerbed turns out to be someone she knows--her tole painting teacher, Hester Bouquet. Just two weeks before, Rory attended one of Hester's weekend seminars, an unpleasant experience she vowed never to repeat. As evidence piles up against Rory, she embarks on a quest to identify the killer and clear her name. Now Rory must unearth the truth, before she encounters her own brush with death. "Fans of crafty cozies will love this delightful new series that features tole painting enthusiast, Aurora 'Rory' Anderson . . . A rewarding read and a refreshing debut." --Hannah Dennison, author of the Honeychurch Hall Mysteries "Traditional mystery readers will love this debut author . . . Johnson has an assured, steady hand in creating complex plotlines in Fatal Brushstroke." --Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-winning author "A fun and fast-paced romp with plenty of suspense and intrigue, colorful characters, infidelity and family secrets. Fatal Brushstroke is sure to please cozy readers, especially those who love crafts mixed with murder." --Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the bestselling Ghost of Granny Apples and Odelia Grey Mystery series

About the Author :
Sybil Johnson's love affair with reading began in kindergarten with "The Three Little Pigs." Visits to the library introduced her to Encyclopedia Brown, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and a host of other characters. Fast forward to college where she continued reading while studying Computer Science. After a rewarding career in the computer industry, Sybil decided to try her hand at writing mysteries. Her short fiction has appeared in Mysterical-E and Spinetingler Magazine, among others. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in Southern California where she enjoys tole painting, studying ancient languages and spending time with friends and family.

Review :
"Rory is definitely a quirky character; she has the ability to draw the readers in so that they want to follow her through her adventures. Which is a good thing, because this is the first in a brand new series featuring Rory Anderson, so there's even more fun to come." - Suspense Magazine "Johnson paints characters with a folksy charm that makes them feel like family. But beware! This richly-textured mystery has it all: family secrets, professional competition, and judgments cast for past mistakes. Color me a fan!" - Diane Vallere, National Bestselling Author of Pillow Stalk "Fans of crafty cozies will love this delightful new series that features tole painting enthusiast, Aurora 'Rory' Anderson...In Fatal Brushstroke, Johnson has penned a charming mystery filled with colorful characters, clever plot twists and unexpected surprises that will keep you guessing whodunit right until the end. A rewarding read and a refreshing debut." -- Hannah Dennison, Author of The Vicky Hill Mysteries and The Honeychurch Hall Mysteries "Traditional mystery readers will love this debut author, Sybil Johnson, and her amateur sleuth, Aurora "Rory" Anderson, a Southern California woman who has survived her share of tragedy in the fictitious seaside community of Vista Beach. Johnson has an assured, steady hand in creating complex plotlines in Fatal Brushstroke. Readers will definitely want to revisit Vista Beach in Aurora's next outing of investigating." - Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-Winning Author of Murder on Bamboo Lane "Enjoyable, fun and entertaining...Aurora is a strong character you immediately feel like you have known her a lifetime...I love books that keep you reading late into the night and for me this is one of them great books." - Shelley's Book Case "The strength of the book, as in most good cozy mysteries, lies in the main character...The book really poses the question, within a well-written cozy, is nature or nurture more important in what a person becomes?...This underlying story makes this an interesting choice for book clubs to discuss." - Examiner.com "Set in a small beach town in Southern California, with Fatal Brushstroke, Sybil Johnson has penned a fun and fast-paced romp with plenty of suspense and intrigue, colorful characters, infidelity and family secrets. Fatal Brushstroke is sure to please cozy readers, especially those who love crafts mixed with murder." - Sue Ann Jaffarian, Author of the Bestselling Ghost of Granny Apples and Odelia Grey Mystery Series
